Dear Twiterati friends,
I deigned to give my husbert rice with his chilli last week when usually it is accompanied by a jacket potato and a sprinkle of fromage. We had run out of large potatoes for said purpose so I substituted with rice. He is not allowing me to forget my misdemeanour, and every day since, when he enquires what’s for supper he also includes the addendum of, “ It’s not rice is it?” Note we have been married for almost 25 years and he’s never been this hesitant about rice before. Indeed, rice with curry is definitely not a problem. In his defence he did say that having rice with my homemade chilli was a waste because my chilli is so good. (Nice husband save there). What can I do to assuage his fears and save my sanity? I was thinking about a scold’s cage or some other such contraption but I fear that may be a step too far.
Yours,
Jools x
